ZOmbies seeing you and can't lose them?

[Trien]

so I see a zombie fight them more come, no big deal. I walk across the street, go through lawn bushes, crouch walk behind a building and they know rgiht where I am?

[J]

its a bit tricky to lose them cuz theres always that one that notices you from behind.

[Trien]

does it matter if you are bleeding or anything? I noticed they seem to home in on that.

[老友出品]

Theirs a bunch of tutorials on youtube that show how to efficiently lose them, as it can be a little difficult, i was struggling at first, but now its quite easy to lose them when you know what to do.

they can hear you go through lawn bushes, also when you break line of site crouch run, to another side of the building as the zombies will go to the side of the building they last saw you go to. i also suggest hording them all up before trying to break line of site, as too many times ive lost quite a few of them only to walk into another bunch.

walk around houses, zombies are easily distracted by windows and doors

Do none of you people know how to use a search function? Do we really need an individual thread from each person about this? It's been discussed adnauseum at this point in several threads. I'm not going to bother with giving pointers at this point either, because each time the person just takes it as me saying "I'm a pro gamer" even though all I'm doing is pointing out that you can lose zombies and it really isn't as hard as some people are making it out to be.

You assume much.

with that mindset no one should ever post any questions. This game has been on here since 2013, 8 years of threads of questions...

and you don't make any effort into learning how to play the game. The zombies will basically follow you indefinitely if you don't know how to lose them. When you break their line of sight they don't just stop and forget unless you've modified their memory. They will go to the last location they saw you. If they're in search mode and you show up again they redirect. You have to break line of sight, wait and then move to another location. You run behind a house, they are going to follow you behind that house. You need to then move somewhere else and break line of sight. If they get to the back of the house and you're just standing in the back yard of the house next door, they can still see you. If you're "crouched" down behind a fence, or inside a house at a window, they can see you. If you can see them, and you're within 20 tiles of them, they can see you, doesn't matter if you're ducked down or not.

You don't know what steps I have done to get away from zombies, so please don't assume I don't take much effort.

I have done a lot of what you suggested, breaking line of sight, going over a fence, and then going over another fence while out of line of sight, and then crouch walking behind a house in question.

Yet the same ones still knew right where to follow. I understand you are a veteran of this game, but there is no point to talk down to newer players. Thanks.

In addition how goes it work through forest or fog? can they see better or do they have the same issues, there is a lot of questions that can be asked on how they function.

[Psycha]

I believe this is like the 15th post about zombie detection? Might be worth looking into.

I have some new info as well. Default apoc settings and tested helicopter event and it hardly works.. Zombies ignore the chopper noise most of the time and stand still..

Set hordes off and they still do it.

We've had a few choppers in my server and they all have not been a threat even when looting at night lol.

[TeX KilleR]

kill all zombies why run lol

There are so many guides, videos, and tips online that people shouldn't be making new threads for information that's already online. It's annoying when people don't even bother to look first before making the same thread over and over, at this point since there are recent threads about this same topic that except for them being individually unaware it's kind of hard to think it's not trolling or spam.

No offense OP, people get frustrated seeing the same threads being spammed.

I didn't assume anything. That has been the reaction from every single other person who posted the same thread. Maybe you wouldn't react that way too, but I am annoyed with those types of people. You also indeed could have searched this topic. So what assumptions were being made?

But here's some material that may help anyway.

Don't be so facetious. The point is that a bunch of other threads discussing this already exist. I didn't know that using the search function before creating a new post was too much to ask when there have been a ridiculous amount of these threads recently, like in the last 2 days recently. My bad.

I would not have managed to write it down this civil.

Also actually the forum is already nearly losing its purpose because of all the new completely redundant posts. Basicly there are like 10-12 topics that resurface en masse not just weekly but dayly.
edit: to the point i am not even feeling to debate, or give out pointers, because it starts to feel like a job.
